Years pass like trees out a car window. My hands on the steering wheel, your music in my head. The road trip music, the chill rock where the guitar is the lead and the singer takes second. Somehow you find your way into the bass players strings. Low and aggressive, relaxed and gentle. You’re with me as I drive through the mountains
and I said, “hey look, the sky’s on fire”
Thank you for making this for me @justalineinasong0 :)
twenty one pilots - Smithereens
my perfect, darling cat :)
Cutting quick and deep
Sharp melodies
Sassy tones
At times smoother than cream
In a rich cup of coffee
•
Notes, unseen
Cascade down the blank page
Of a musicians mind
Spilling out clear and sweet
Softer than snow blanketing a bungalow
•
Chords, a medium to be measured with infinity
Spinning eigth notes like cotton on a spindle
Pricking your eardrums with phat, coordinated rhythms
Low and as thick as molasses
Higher than the moon
•
Fuzzy, soft and neat brushes lightly caresss the snare
Chunk, Chunk, Chunk the constant thrum of the guitar
Propelling the group as the bulky anchor, the bass
Crystal tones, loud and bossy, the trumpet commands
The saxophone pleads mournfully to be heard, like a lost colour in an intarsia pattern
I want to be written about on stick notes
I want something penned for me on a coffee stained napkin
I want to be written for on a mint gum wrapper
Small love letters secretly scrawled on the inside of locker doors
Someone write me a sonnet, a saga in four parts composed in a private diary by flashlight.
Sweet nothings etched in the stars themselves, in a not left in my lunch, on the fridge, next to my shoes
Tell me the secrets of your heart in the margins of your math note
Confess your love on a scrap piece of paper torn carelessly from a notebook
Melissa, 23, she/her, Canadian, poetry and a little bit of everything all of the time
